Controversy. some elements of the dossier have been verified, a number remain neither verified nor proven false, but none so far have been publicly disproven. the ranking democrat on the intelligence committee in the house is california congressman adam schiff. >> when you look at just what has become public, some of the public information is very much in line with what is reported in that dossier. >> msnbc contribute bore john mc clauf lin spent 40 years analyzing the dark matters for the cia. ...

What flynn agreed to, it was material into the investigation into the conspiracy between the campaign and the russian government. >> does that scan to you as well, matt? >> yeah, i think thats exactly right. i think its material. and you also look at the fact that its very clear that mike flynn was lying to cover up for not just himself, but for kt mcfarland and presumably others at mar-a-lago when they had that phone call up to and including the president. and when you add all these things up, ...

Handcuffs at the courthouse. because this is the president, no one can believe a president would actually behave this way because weve never -- since nixon, anyway, seen a president behave this way. when you take that out of the equation and just look at the fact pattern, this is a pretty clear and simple obstruction of justice case. the only thing he has going for him now is there is this open question about whether he can be indicted or not or whether it has to be left to congress where of cou...

Counterintelligence matters that might be a part of that ongoing investigation. i also want to raise the matter that dana boente, the eastern district of virginia u.s. attorney is fourth in line of succession. if there would happen to be a set of circumstances where the attorney general was recused, the deputy attorney general was ordered by the president to do something improper, refused to do so and resigned, dana boente would be the third in that line of succession. those of us who know our w...

It was a bipartisan letter. it came from a republican senator and a democratic senator. so that part is just plain wrong. now what may be true, and this gets to the answer of your question, it may be true that this is an honest mistake, but, you know, it may even make jared kushner look good if, in fact, these documents suggest he was waving off contacts with the russians, but this is probably, you know, were in now two or three dozen episodes of forms being poorly and inaccurately filled out, p...

Counsel appointed by attorney general sessions based on what you heard today? >> i dont know, but i did like his answer, which is we will follow the facts wherever they go. robert mueller, it is within his jurisdiction to look at all of russians efforts to influence the election, and that might possibly include finding a dossier. i think general sessions broader point is we dont need a special counsel for every fact pattern. you do have a department of justice with women and men who have dedicat...

Clear, because i think there were a couple of different meetings in your piece, 21 club meeting which i believe was december, so that would have been after he knew and been tapped to be this national security adviser, correct? >> right. exactly. it was mid-december which was well after the election, and a few weeks before inauguration. >> so given that fact, michael moore, as he would have been, you know, vetted by the white house to have this huge, huge job, if in fact this comes to light that ...

Uranium one deal. >> so you believe -- you believe the fbi -- >> let me finish. because he was part of that fact pattern, he cannot now go back and investigate something where he may very well be a witness. >> youre stating a belief that the filibuster was involved in this, the fbi was involved. there are nine government agencies involved. the "washington post" has reported, the fbi was not part of the government refuse. let me read to you. nine government agencies make up the government committ...

Victoria -- well, she would never be in jail because she has joe, and i would be in jail. your thoughts? >> mere mortals like you and i would be in jail. i spent 15 years of my life living in the former dictatororship of hungary. this was worse than the stuff i saw there. victoria is the legal professional, but even i can see the fact pattern. there are key individuals, comey, mueller, rosenstein. these individuals thought hillary clinton was going to win. all of these people are bodies. they st...

The dnc at the same time, both campaigns. at the time we signed the agreement the dnc said to both of us you can both if you raise money in have some say over how it is spent. we went ahead and started raising and had some say over how it was spent. bernie sanders didnt. so we were offered the same thing at the same time. we just took them up on it and allison, honestly, what is disturbing to me about this is hillary clinton stepped up and literally saved the dnc. >> sandra: to you first on that...
